The only addition I would have to the 3rd law. I would simply add " and ricochet off lots of things"
If you added a 5th law I would put something along the lines of educate yourself on gun laws, especially in states like CA. Laws are ever changing and most times do not make much sense. If in doubt, verify.
If you added a 6th law I would put something about safe storage that depends on a number of factors. i.e. children in the house, local laws etc.
Having added these things I don't mean to take away from your post above. Even without my additions, your write up was very accurate and it covered what I consider the MOST important things to know. I am sure you could add pages of additional advice but you wanted to keep it concise. Thanks again for that great post. |
Thank you for your comments. This is one of the best compliments I have received in a long time! I am honored that you found this useful. Thank You.
I only started shooting in the last 3 years, but have found it to be a very enjoyable and rewarding hobby. I have even given this advice to my elderly and disabled parents. This helped them to obtain their first two pistols and their Concealed Handgun Licenses. Mom a S&W 642 Airweight and Dad a S&W M&P 9mm. I am so proud of them.
I like your rule additions. I have many more rules that I could incorporate and have shared before. In this case, as with any new shooter I like to keep it VERY simple. These four are the golden rules. I think I might write them all up and post them here, but this will take a while. LOL
